r/worldnews thread about Israel's bullshit evacuation warning has mostly decent comments

I think Israel is going too far for the propaganda apparatus to whitewash for much longer. The Hamas attack was an easy win for Western media, but we're in a week where decades happen, they can only talk about this one incident for so many days before people have heard enough, and then all that's left will be Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing. If this is still going on a week from now, let alone two weeks, you won't be able to get as many people with "but muh terrorism" anymore, especially as the death toll grows ever more out of proportion. Reddit libs are already calling it "ethnic cleansing", Western media won't be able to keep this down much longer.

MSNBC has had a vocab change. For Israel's ground war it seems they stopped using the word "imminent" and they have moved on to "inevitable".

Meanwhile in France earlier today where Pro-Palestine rallies are banned:

I don't doubt there are Arab fascists out there, but isn't it strange that 99% of what we see reported by the western media as well as Palestinian media, Nazi symbols aren't used as a "psyop" tactic against Israel? Strange that Ukraine keeps using it and westerners keep defending them as if they have no choice. It's almost as if waving around a Nazi flag in battle is a deliberate announcement that you're a fascist.

One of the members of the attacked settlements made a plea for peace, not revenge. They lay the blame on Bibi. Good example of how the political situation is pretty mixed in Israel right now.

-Citizens of Israel, politicians, residents of Israel and abroad, I don't care who hears this, listen to me carefully. Those speaking of revenge, should be ashamed. Don't offer up 'soldiers' or 'protection'. Talk to me about a political solution.

-I know there is much anger towards Bibi, because I feel it. How many people must die for his ego and his personal interests? Our blood is on his hands. But it's not just him. If my words are heard by anyone, take a good look at yourselves, look deep inside, ask yourselves what your values are. Ask yourselves who it is you vote for. I know what I am demanding. I am demanding a just peace.

Editor-in-Chief of the Propaganda Wing of the Apartheid Regime (Jerusalem Post) says:

"The world's solidarity with Israel following the murder of more than 900 Israelis is heartwarming and appreciated. But the true test will be this: Who will continue to stand by Israel when we do what we must to deal Hamas a devastating, crushing, game-changing blow?"

These people are literally saying "You must not be disturbed when we do a little genocide in Gaza", because there's no other thing they "must do". Flattening the entire city of Gaza with all 2 million people inside it is what our friend Avi Mayer is implying here.

Still, Avi doesn't have to ask too much. He knows his western friends will look the other way as his regime continues to kill Palestinians, that's just their default position when non-whites are massacred by the thousands just for asking for freedom.

American companies are whack. Any humanitarian aid going to Israel is grotesque.

I've learned that Comcast is committing $2 million to aid humanitarian efforts unfolding in Israel and the Middle East.

"We are horrified & deeply saddened by the brutal attack on Israel," Comcast CEO Brian Roberts & president Mike Cavanagh wrote to employees earlier this week.

For years, elite colleges—and other influential institutions—have lent their prestige to once-radical concepts like decolonization, seeming to imagine that they could be kept separate from the gruesome histories out of which they emerged. Fanon, the intellectual godfather of “decolonial” thought, wasn’t so naïve. As the world becomes more dangerous again, the luxury of metaphorical radicalism may prove too costly to sustain.

"The violence which governed the ordering of the colonial world ... this same violence will be vindicated and appropriated when, taking history into their own hands, the colonized swarm into the forbidden cities..."

"Middle class" radicals meet real world politics with actual consequences on the the ground = the complete collapse of their radicalism. Scratch a liberal and all that.

THE PLAN TO WIPE OUT HAMAS

As refugees crowd the border with Egypt, Israel prepares to hit Gaza City with US-supplied bunker busters

So, for whatever reason, Israel thinks that they can get Egypt to take Palestinians because Bob Menendez is indicted...? Do they think Sisi is going to extradite himself or anyone else to the US?

As usual, the politicians have likely way too much faith in their wunderwaffen and the troops are almost entirely unprepared for urban combat.

i'm starting to think that the servers can take a 1000+ post megathread

I can't wait for the next one to five years until the hit, billion dollar grossing blockbuster film about these events comes out, Thoroughly dripping with obvious fascist themes and imagery, yet widely acclaimed by run of the mill Hamilton type liberals.

The worst thing about Israeli propaganda is that they're just straight up rebranding Israeli crimes as Palestinian ones.

Holy fucking shit - the homepage of the New York Times is in chef's kiss mode today. And I still have a couple articles to have a look at.

Don't miss the punchline at the very bottom.

Thinking about the bitter irony in Israel becoming the very fascists they swore off ever being the victims of again. Is there a word for that?

From Seymour Hersh: "NETANYAHU IS FINISHED"

Some choice excerpts:

The Sukkot celebration, held near a Palestinian village known in Hebrew as Haware, would need extraordinary protection, given the tension over the latest violence, and the local Israeli military authorities, with the approval of Netanyahu, ordered two of the three Army battalions, each with about 800 soldiers, that protected the border with Gaza to shift their focus to the Sukkot festival.

“That left only eight hundred soldiers,” the insider told me, “to be responsible for guarding the 51-kilometer border between the Gaza Strip and southern Israel. That meant the Israeli citizens in the south were left without an Israeli military presence for ten to twelve hours. They were left to fend for themselves. And that is why Bibi is finished. May take a few months, but he is over.”

Nothing we don't know, Netanyahu done goofed by moving troops away from Gaza at the critical moment.

As for a ground attack, the insider told me that there is a brutal alternative under consideration that could be described as the Leningrad approach, referring to the famed German effort to starve out the city now known as St. Petersburg during World War II. The Nazi siege lasted nearly 900 days and the death toll was at least 800,000 and possibly many more. It is known that the Hamas leadership and much of its manpower “live underground,” and Israel’s goal is to destroy as much of that manpower “without attempting a traditional house-to-house attack.”

"The Leningrad Approach".

The insider added that some Israelis were “made anxious” by the initial statements from world leaders in Germany, France, and England who avowed, in one case through an aide, their total support for an immediate response but added that it should be guided by the rule of law. President Biden reinforced that point in an unscheduled appearance at a White House conference of Jewish leaders Wednesday by pointedly saying that he had recently told Netanyahu: “it is really important that Israel, with all the anger and frustration and just—I don’t know how to explain it—that exists is that they operate by the rules of war—the rules of war. And there are rules of war.”

Foolish international leaders, don't they know Israel runs purely on war crimes? It's like telling a shark to stop swimming, they need to swim to breathe.

Bank of Israel to sell $30 billion to stop shekel collapse during Gaza war

M virtue signaling lib job is really rah rahing about the "terrorist attacks" and "seeing and hearing us" "you are valid" etc and I feel like I'm losing my mind

the sheer speed at which the narrative has formed is fucking scary, feels a bit like 9/11 . everyone is just going along with it, no questions asked and you're a monster if you point out that the Palestinians are being genocided.

Being pro-palestine would be effectively career suicide for me ofc so I just have to sit there and seethe

Floods in Tel Aviv

The news has a fucking scoreboard for casualties on their reporting, like it's the fuckin Superbowl or some shit. Disgustingly depraved country

GOP freaks have been telling each other that Hamas terrorists have already infiltrated America via the open Mexican border and are ready to attack major cities for the next 12 months in revenge against America for supporting Israel. Sanity has restored 10 points though because at least I'm not on the same side of the line as MAGA chuds anymore like on Ukraine, now all Americans are equally contemptible and wrong instead of merely 60% of them

Do you think we could popularise the phrase "Cyberfascism" as a label for all the content that games companies keep churning out that they claim is "cyberpunk" when it's actually like "haha you get to play as a cop" or "haha you're a cyber mercenary, this is cyberpunk I definitely understand this genre" (Bungie's upcoming Tarkov-like game).

The opposite of cyberpunk in my mind is cyberfascism. And this content fits that label real well.

Human Rights Watch: "The statements of the Israeli Defense Minister are disgusting, and depriving residents of occupied territories of food and electricity is collective punishment."

Copying my comment from another thread.

"you can't tell me terrorism is good because it's never good"

Liberals are so obsessed with something being "good" or "bad" (meaning things that make them feel good or bad) that they miss the point. They can literally acknowledge how slaves killing their masters is effectively self-inflicted by the masters, and the only reason they don't always immediately turn around and say "but killing is bad" is because it was long ago and they're fully aware of how racist they would sound if they did.

"Terrorism is never good" is childish, because "terrorism" is before anything else an insult pointed at non-white people who defend their rights and tactics that many consider "terrorism" (guerilla tactics, surprise attacks, etc.) can be a means to a good end - in this case halting the settlement of Palestinian land.

Adult settlers who voluntarily live in illegal Israeli settlements have participated in a genocide of the Palestinian people, the same way German settlers during WW2 were participants in the genocide of the people of Eastern European nations, and those who took the property of Jews were direct participants in the Shoah. They're not unaware of what happened to give them that land. Often they personally committed the violence. They were comfortable with this because they believed that the IDF would protect them. It's absolutely ridiculous to see people all around the world, who have stood by and done nothing about this for generations as the Palestinians were repeatedly murdered for attempting peaceful resistance, suddenly start crying "terrorism" when Hamas (a group which would likely not exist and hold power without having been funded by Israel) has inflicted violence on the settlers in turn.

Highlight from Al-Qassam Brigades military spokesman Abu Obeida's speech yesterday:

We heard today that the senile old man Yoav Gallant called us "human animals." Perhaps they meant the lions that trampled over their pig soldiers' necks inside their military bases, tanks, and fortresses.

I hate to do vibes based posting but shit feels extremely weird rn. Not in the normal everyone is frothing at the mouth and normal media insanity but weird ethereal feeling of "holy shit is everything really at the brink right now?" Kind of feeling.

Shit just dont feel good, like something extremely fucked up is in the air. Like the big one is about to happen. Maybe im just falling for the media panic or something idk.

Several unconfirmed reports and videos of clashes with infiltrated marine fighters in Ashdod, the sixth largest city in Israel and twice as far as Asqalan from Gaza

Edit: lmao, now there are unconfirmed reports that the IDF and local police are actually the ones shooting at each other in Ashdod, incredible

lemmy.world turning into a nazi bar faster than germany rn

It's been more than 36 hours since the fascists turned the water off now, right? That's real bad. And forcing people to flee en masse means whatever cisterns or stores they have will probably need to be left behind. The mass removal might have an additional goal of depriving people of supplies. : ( all i've got is this stupid fucking frowny face.

Schools and universities across the Bay Area said they were bolstering security measures — and in some cases canceling classes — amid so-far unsubstantiated threats of pro-Hamas violence.

Reminds me of this Onion from 2001

On September 8, 1941, less than three months after the Soviet Union was first attacked in World War II, Leningrad (as St. Petersburg was called at the time) was completely sealed off from the rest of the country. Nazi Germany planned to “erase it from the face of the Earth,” according to historic documents. Thus began the Siege of Leningrad, often called “900 Days of Courage.”

What the Germans didn’t count on was that the citizens of Leningrad would not give up. They’d rather die than give up. They would bury artwork, plant vegetables in the Summer Gardens, evacuate children in trucks across the frozen Lake Ladoga, survive on boiling leather belts and making pancakes out of weeds, hold nightly watches to put out fire grenades and work at factories around the clock but never let the enemy step into their city.

Entire Leningrad families died from hunger. There's a piece of bread on display at the [museum of the Piskariovskoye Memorial Cemetery] . A daily ration for the people of Leningrad, it is a 125-gram rock made of sawdust and flour.

Gallant, using the strongest language of the three, said “we will wipe them off the face of the Earth.”

Their tone signaled Israel may be entering final preparations for what officials believe could be an invasion of the narrow strip of land, wedged between Israel and Egypt, that has been under Hamas control.
